Search Tips

The FBI does not investigate all kinds of criminal activity. To see the categories of federal laws that
the FBI does investigate, see our What We Investigate webpage.

If you are looking for information about yourself or a case you are involved in, you must submit a
Privacy Act request.

The FBI does not comment on all current, ongoing cases. See our
field press releases for public information on our investigations.

The FBI is limited in the amount of information and photos it can provide on
wanted fugitives and missing persons. We also do not investigate all
fugitives or missing persons in the United States; many cases are handled by local authorities or other federal agenices.

The FBI does not have a national e-mail address for public questions or comments. Some of our
local FBI offices, however, do have their own e-mail addresses.
